So folks, it’s entering one of my favorite times of the year and I’m beginning to plan for Halloween. I’ve decided I want to splurge and get a kick ass costume put together this year - I’m thinking a Cyberpunkish costume. Now I want some kick ass boots, like totally awesome. Boots which yell “I could stomp a puddle in your chest with my bionic leg!” however everywhere I’ve looked online only goes up to size 12. And I normally wear 14-15 depending on brand (and 16 for Nike). So anyone have thoughts on sites to check out? ---

You might try [www.sportsmansguide.com](http://www.sportsmansguide.com) They have lots of boots. I bought some big fat arctic boots in 13 wide. They also have biker boots and logger boots. ---

Red Wing Shoes specializes in large and odd sized shoes. Check out [this](http://www.redwingshoe.com/search-results.cfm?searchType=advanced&vMens=Y&specialsize=Y&x=10&y=7) search. I’ve only seen a couple that go up to 16 on the web site, though… **Khadro** , I’d recommend you try one of their local stores. The salesman can usually come up with something. ---

These look like they go to usa size 14 or 15, but [New Rock](http://www.newrockstore.com/) are the best Cyberpunk boots on the planet. ( c.f. the assassin on Firefly “Objects in Space” ) ---

[caboots.com](http://www.caboots.com) has lots of costume boots, but not all of them come in larger sizes. I’m not sure what cyberpunk boots look like, so I don’t know if they have anything that would work. ---

Further to what **Bippy** said. I own a pair of New Rock boots ([These Ones](http://www.newrockstore.com/zona1/catalog/images/107%20_T_NE_AN_FU_RE_NE_TO.jpg)). They are, simply, the best boots I have ever owned. They ought to last for years and look incredible. If you enjoy clubbing they are great to dance in - no more someone pogo-on-your-toe syndrome. And they really get the cybergoth/cyberpunk thing going. ---

To me the phrase “punk boots” means one thing: Doc Martens. Granted, it’s a high-dollar boot, but it’ll last you forever, especially if you take care of it. Take a look at [these](http://www.dmusastore.com/Detail.bok?no=388&Category=Mens:) and [these](http://www.dmusastore.com/Detail.bok?no=1389&Category=Mens:Boots); they’ve got them in your size too, bro. ---

Well thanks everyone else for the links, Bippy hit what I was looking for on the head - however they’re damn expensive but I can begin saving my pennies.

Those New Rock boots aren’t my usual style, but I have to admit they are damn awesome. If I was going to be a grim urban vigilante in a stylish black trench coat, I’d totally get a pair. ---
